up Attica cons in weapons hunt 'ew units kayed on By OWEN MORITZ The Starrett Housing Corp. and New York State agreed yesterday on an $82 million housing-and-school development to complete the first phase of Roosevelt Island, New York's minicity in the East River. Starrett will build 1.000 units of housing for families ranging in income from upper middle to low, subject to federal approval of mortgage guarantees.

Southtown will remain undeveloped for some time and. when built, will be largely commercial, according to the New York State Urban Development Corp. which administers the island.

The units range in size from studio apartments to four bedrooms. that condemned the "revolutionary courts" in Iran for executing without due process. Iranian leaders branded Javits and his wife criminals and vowed last week to arrest them prompting New York City and Capitol police to place round-the-clock protection on the couple. The extra security was dropped when Javits returned from a special mission to the Sudan last Thursday and after Iranian authorities said they did not intend to harm the Javitses.

Javits said he and his wife keep their financial affaiks separate. He declared that her resignation from Ruder Finn and from the Iran Air account meant that she "had made her amends." As for any suggestion that her contract with Iran Air translated into qvpvgpcal support from him, Javits said: "She'd be the first one to admit huyhshe can't control me."

The fight erupted about two hours after Fred White, 31, also of New York City, had been stabbed in the yard. Still earlier Sunday, Jerome Dickey, 27, of Rochester, was taken to Erie County Medical Center for stab wounds suffered in a cellblock dispute with another inmate.

Mrs. Javits withdrew from the pact in 1976 under public pressure, and Javits won an informal vote of confidence from his colleagues on the Foreign Relations Committee. The senator suggested that he was looking for a similar clean bill of health now. "For a broader campaign" Javits argued that there was "nothing new" in the documents.

However, they reportedly showed for the first time that top members of the shah's government wanted Mrs. Javits link to Iran Air to be a "pretense" for a broader public relations campaign on behalf of the shah.

Jacob Javits denied yesterday any suggestion that his wife's short stint as a public relations representative for Iranian officials in 1976 made part of an "Iran lobby," but he said he would consult with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about newly disclosed details of the arrangement. Referring to new documents about Marion Javits' contract with Iran Air that were released to American reporters in Iran last week, Javits said: "I dont think any of the documents says I was fomenting a lobbying effort. If they said that, it would be flatly untrue I have complete confidence in my objectivity "and I will consult with members of the committee and give them an Javits, the documents purportedly show that Iranian Prime Minister Amir Abbas Hoveida wrote to the shah of the contract and called it "remarkable political opportunity." Hoveida also allegedly wrote that "the existence of an Iran lobby in the American Congress seems useful."

Mrs. Javits could not be reached for comment, but she said over the weekend that she was "shocked" that the contract was perceived in Iran as a cover for extensive lobbying effort.
